As for most walk-throughs concerning gitlab, it is easiest if you **open a second tab or window** and keep this page in another.

## Login to GitLab

|
|
|
|
- Go to the right of the page (avatar-icon with a down-arrow) and press it followed by **settings**.
|
|
|
|
- Click on your avatar-icon and select **Preferences**. (The avatar can be found at the top of the page. On the left if you use the new (default) style. If you use the old style the avatar can be found on the right side)
|

|
|

## Generate SSH Keys
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **(You can skip this step if you already created an ssh key pair for the old gitlab installation. This will be the case for most 2nd and 3th year students)**
|
|
|
|
- Open ``Git Bash`` if it isn't already open. By pressing the windows button and searching for ``git bash``. A black window should open where you can type stuff.
|
|
|
|
- In the black window type the following command where you replace your firstname and your lastname to your names: ``ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "firstname lastname laptop" ``
|
|
|
|
- The command will state that it is _generating a public/private ed25519 key pair_ and it will ask where it should store it. **Just press enter** (without entering anything)
